Meanwhile……

We’ll get to see this clown back on his perch once the August recess is over. Maybe, just maybe, Nadler will single handedly, irreparably, destroy his own political party.

Can’t wait to see what happens when Trump points his wit at him.

Around the Farm

One thing I learned a couple of years ago was that you don’t skimp when it comes to farm tools. That’s not to say that I learned this quickly, I didn’t. I’d been going through a weed-eater each summer until I broke down and bought a commercial grade Stihl three summers ago. The pictures below show the fine job this powerhouse does.

This is me all decked out (snake boots and long sleeves) to work where both poison ivy and poison snakes abound. Gloves are leather and trousers are of a heavy canvas material. Hotter than blazes out so I stayed hydrated.

The electric fencing to the right in the pictures above mark the edge of the lower pasture where cattle roam everything to the left of that fence line (about 60 acres) is mostly wooded.

The photo below gives a little more perspective on the gully I was clearing out. The concrete drive on the bottom of the frame runs up to where we have the cabins (left). If we were to go to the right would take us off of the property, on to a ‘hard-ball’ road, that leads to a real road, that leads into civilization after about 5 or 6 miles.

These pictures show about half of the gully, the balance is to my back (west) of where I’m standing. All went well!

For What?

Every time I see a picture of the military leadership in the socialist paradise of North Korea there is enough medals on their chests to build a battleship. Given the the last conflict they were involved in ended in the 50’s, what the hell did these folks do to earn them? Perhaps they are like scouting’s merit badges aligned to persecuting their own population.

It’s The Start of Another Great Week

I’ll be cranking up the zero turn mower and the weed-eater later in the day to knock down the tall stuff that has popped up around the farm. I know you working stiffs will be doing the same thing (albeit with wrenches, keyboards, and hand trucks) at sundry work spaces across the country.

Y’all have a great day. Keep the sun in your face and the wind at your back.

Improbable | This Guy Was Sleeping on the Streets

Four months ago, the Browns said, Sheehy-Guiseppi was sleeping outside a Miami gym after spending his last $200 on training.

A former teammate from a flag-football league tipped him off to the time and location of the Browns’ spring practice. He convinced Browns management that he knew the team’s vice president of player personnel (he didn’t). He walked up to the VP, introduced himself and talked his way into a spot alongside the invited players.

That gave Sheehy-Guiseppi a chance to catch balls and run the 40-yard dash, which he did in an impressive 4.38 seconds and that was enough to earn a spot at the Browns’ next practice a week later. At that workout he impressed enough to get a contract and a role in the preseason opener.

The game was the first time he faced a live punt return since his days at Phoenix College.  Sheehy-Guiseppi had misplaced his cleats before the game, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, so he was running in borrowed shoes..

To be out of football as long as he’s been out, and still have that type of speed? That means he’s fast. And now he’s eating three square meals a day, sleeping in his own bed. The sky’s the limit for him.”

Not A Clue

The Washington Examiner is running with a story that proves the Trumpster’s point about Joe being overcooked. What Trump tweeted is directly below. A portion of what the Examiner reported follows the tweet. Link is here. What may be important to consider is that this is the third verbal stumble in as many days.

2020 Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden added to his recent series of gaffes by claiming he was vice president during the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, last year that killed 17.

Speaking with reporters in Iowa on Saturday, the former vice president said, “Those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president.” He went on to claim that lawmakers on Capitol Hill at the time were “basically cowering, not wanting to see them.”

“They did not want to face it on camera,” he added. Biden, however, was no longer in office at the time.

My Wayward Ways

Appreciate your patience while I break away from the keyboard to do farm and garden chores. Got bunches done yesterday and today. I did manage to put up more Jap-a-leno’s and now have a respectable store of salsa on the shelf.

So I hear that Jeff has bit the dust. While it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy, I’ll bet dollars to donuts that the federal investigation now gets shit-canned.

Sorry to report that I used ‘drop caps’ for the first time on this site for the sole purpose of placing the word ‘ASS’ in big capital letters ! Y’all enjoy the balance of the weekend.
